“How happy is the lot of the blameless Vestal”
Forgotten by the world, forgotten by the world
Eternal sunshine of an immaculate mind
Each prayer was accepted, and each one renounced his vow”;
This is the authority of Alexander Pope. It takes as long as they absorb the essence of this authority. The first time I read it, it exploded. I felt that a spell sell was cast upon me, and my mind was somehow changed and healed. It is hard to find a material this strong and beautiful at the same time. Some of the lines are very ambiguous and have different meanings to treat new ideas in our thinking.
The beginning refers to a vestal or caste woman with good luck, which can be related to the garden. A virgin woman, difficult to find in my neighborhood, is a symbol of chastity and chastity valued by all. Pure happiness, as many of you know, is a miracle. The things we try to achieve rarely make us as happy as we would have hoped in our pursuit. This Pope provides a simple example of true happiness, which exists only in our imagination.
The second line is quite surprising and is open to individual interpretations. To give you an idea of what I found from this line, I will try to describe it. “Forgotten world” is the name here; this world has forgotten itself and is still forgetting itself. This can be understood as how the human psyche functions. Pessimists tend to remember negative events and optimists do the opposite. We do not have the mental capacity to know the entire history of humanity; a lot of information is lost no matter how hard we try to preserve it.
The third verse speaks of a pure mind. “Eternal sun” this term gives from the feelings of peace and tranquility. With a pure mind, remove stress, guilt and eternal pain under the bright light.
I’ve experienced some of my prayers being unspeakable, I bet a lot of people can relate to this. This opens our minds to the paradise line. The last word of the fourth line, “abdicated”, has its own flavor and is especially ambiguous. full praise From this poem and the idea of tranquility comes to mind. For a moment, try to forget the past and stop worrying about the future. Live this moment for yourself and you will feel my feelings about this place.
